Just when the White-Bearded Tiger King was imrsed in the rise of the Demon Clan and the unification of Jiuzhou and Eight Desolates, Li Chen’s words pierced his soap-bubble-like fantasy like a sharp blade.
"I have no interest in the position of Demon King at all. Thank you for the Demon Emperor’s kindness!"
As soon as Li Chen uttered these words, the entire audience was shocked.
Especially those Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals who were fighting desperately to climb up, striving for nothing but the Demon King throne.
But now, what they dream of and cannot obtain is discarded like an old shoe by a Human Clan mber. How could their hearts not be shocked?
Even the Demon Emperor Potian’s expression changed slightly, and he curiously asked, "Oh, then what do you want?"
The expression of the Little Demon Immortal beside him was also sowhat uncertain.
She knew what Li Chen wanted, and her father had always valued that thing as his life.
If Li Chen proposed it in public and her father refused, the final result would be unimaginable.
While the Little Demon Immortal was anxious, Li Chen indeed proposed the request as she had expected.
"I’ve heard that the Demon Emperor possesses a Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron. Princess Little Demon Immortal once promised that if I could defeat the Black Demon King, this Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron would beco mine. Can you now fulfill your promise?"
Before Li Chen’s voice faded, the audience was in an uproar.
What is the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron?
This is the supre treasure of the Demon Clan!
And Li Chen openly asking for it is simply audacious!
The White-Bearded Tiger King glared at Li Chen and shouted, "How bold, Li Chen! Do you think you can be arrogant and unrestrained just because you’ve accomplished sothing?"
Li Chen smiled calmly and said, "I’ve heard that the Tiger King was once injured by the Black Demon King. I wonder how your injuries are now?"
On hearing this, the White-Bearded Tiger King was taken aback, utterly confused by why Li Chen would ask this question.
Although he did indeed have a previous encounter with the Black Demon King and was injured,
it was rely a superficial wound that has mostly healed by now.
The White-Bearded Tiger King snorted angrily, replying grumpily, "Thank you for your concern, but my injuries are long gone!"
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, smiling enigmatically, "Oh, really?"
The White-Bearded Tiger King felt a chill at Li Chen’s laugh, extending his sharp claws and shouting fiercely.
"Li Chen, what do you an by this?"
Li Chen shrugged and replied, "Nothing, just concerned about the Tiger King’s injuries!"
"Hmph, you..."
Just as the White-Bearded Tiger King was about to explode, he suddenly felt his chest, as if struck by a mountain, with a sharp pain.
At the sa ti, it seed as if there was a fierce fire burning within him. Even with his temperant, he found it unbearable, wishing for death over life.
"Damn, Li Chen, you despicable scoundrel, how dare you... Ah..."
The White-Bearded Tiger King was already rolling on the ground in pain, his muscles twitching violently, showing his true form, with all limbs and his head curled into a ball.
Li Chen shrugged, looking innocent as he said, "The Black Demon King wounded you; what does that have to do with ? If you want revenge, go find the Black Demon King!"
Seeing the White-Bearded Tiger King in unbearable pain, the Little Demon Immortal suddenly felt her heart tighten.
With her intelligence, it was not difficult to guess that Li Chen had set a trap by creating a clay puppet for the White-Bearded Tiger King.
Otherwise, with the Tiger King’s divine skills, it would have been impossible for him to be tricked by Li Chen without any knowledge.
The sa thod Li Chen used to deal with the White-Bearded Tiger King, he could use on them too.
Thinking of this, the Little Demon Immortal inadvertently glanced at Lian Hongshang and Xin Qingxue.
Their expressions remained calm, unperturbed, clearly already aware of this matter.
Li Chen simply did not trust her, did not trust her!
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on the Little Demon Immortal’s lips. Her heart felt like a pot of mixed flavors had been overturned, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, all included.
The Demon Emperor Potian glanced at the White-Bearded Tiger King, still convulsing and curled up in pain, and his face involuntarily darkened.
Then, he clapped his hands vigorously and burst into hearty laughter.
"No wonder you are a millennium encounter, truly remarkable ans. It seems that if I don’t hand over the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron today, you won’t stop, will you?"
Upon hearing these words from the Demon Emperor Potian, the atmosphere at the scene beca instantly tense. Even the air was filled with the sll of gunpowder.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out!
At this, Li Chen remained confident and unperturbed.
His personal combat power might be inferior to the Demon Emperor Potian.
But having just subdued the Black Demon King, if a fight did break out, the scales of victory would tip in their favor.
Faced with the Demon Emperor Potian’s rather challenging words, Li Chen did not respond but rather t the other’s aggressive gaze without showing any weakness.
The two sides locked eyes across the space, engaging in a confrontation as intense as sword shadows.
After an unknown amount of ti, Li Chen was the first to speak, "I have a way to resurrect Bai Shuang!"
On hearing Li Chen’s words, the Demon Emperor Potian was struck like by a thunderbolt. His expression imdiately beca chaotic, losing all semblance of regal dignity, and even his voice trembled slightly.
"What did you say? You can resurrect Bai Shuang?"
Li Chen nodded slightly and replied, "That’s right!"
The Demon Emperor Potian had regained so composure by this ti and asked tentatively, "What would you use to resurrect Bai Shuang?"
"That’s my business. You only have two choices: believe or not believe?"
After finishing, Li Chen locked his eyes firmly on the Demon Emperor Potian’s eyes.
This was a ga!
However, upon seeing the Demon Emperor Potian’s first reaction when hearing he could resurrect Bai Shuang, Li Chen knew he had already secured victory.
"Alright, this emperor will believe you this once. But there is a ti limit; I will give you at most one month. If within one month you can resurrect Bai Shuang, this emperor will willingly hand over the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron!"
Li Chen shook his head and said, "One month is too long. I’m in a hurry, make it half a month!"
Li Chen’s words again astonished the Demon Emperor Potian.
Based on his divine skills of a Demon Emperor, sothing he couldn’t achieve in a 60-year cycle, Li Chen dared to say could be accomplished in just half a month.
A person who could utter such words before a Demon Emperor wasn’t either a madman or a fool.
Yet seeing Li Chen’s calm deanor and bright eyes, neither madness nor foolishness related to him in the slightest.
After pondering for a mont, the Demon Emperor Potian asked, "You aren’t just joking with this emperor, are you?"
Li Chen replied unhurriedly, "Whether it’s true or not will be revealed in half a month!"
The Demon Emperor Potian stared at Li Chen’s eyes for a long ti, ensured he wasn’t joking, then loudly declared, "Okay, this emperor will believe you once more, giving you half a month!"
"If you can resurrect Bai Shuang within half a month, everything will be negotiable. If not, hmph, don’t bla this emperor for being rciless!"

Having a bit of a writing block, organizing the plot...
(Alright, I’m a bit lazy too; I’m guilty, reflecting, don’t hit ! Vanishes, off to write words!")
